Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3296515A2] A vane assembly (100) may comprise an engine case (140) and an anti-rotation lug (144) coupled to the engine case (140). The anti-rotation lug (144) may have a forward end (146) and an aft end (148). A vane cluster (112; 212; 312) may be supported within the engine case (140). The vane cluster (112; 212; 312) may include an outer shroud (132; 232; 332) with a first slot (134a; 234a) defined by a forward flange (172; 272; 372) of the outer shroud (132; 232; 332) and with a second slot (134b; 234b) defined by an aft flange (174; 274; 374) of the outer shroud (132; 232; 332). The second slot (134b; 234b) may be configured to receive the aft end (148) of the anti-rotation lug (144) from a first direction (D1) and wherein the aft flange (174; 274; 374) may be configured to block receipt of the anti-rotation lug (144) from a second direction (D2), which is opposite the first direction (Dl).
